CHART OF THE DAY: Stocks Rally, But You're Paying More At The Pump

Back in
May we looked at how many gallons of gas you could buy for
the cost of the S&P 500. We noted that since the peak in the
late 90s, when you could get over 1300 gallons of gas for the
price of the S&P 500, the trend has been on a fairly steady
downhill. In May you could buy 366 gallons. Since then the
S&P 500 has rallied about 11%, but you are only getting 390
gallons -- just 6% more. So the trend looks likely to hold. Gas
continues to get more expensive, as a percentage of your stock
holdings.
